  jessicafischerqueen: <MannBee> thanks for your support and your recent encouraging comments.

Yes I can actually write a cogent sentence- you may have been fooled by the fact that over half of my posts are actually written by <technical draw>.

Those would be the "Canadianese" posts.

You see, I traded him my vote for funniest kibbutzer plus the password to my forum in exchange for him telling me how to pronounce "Deutschschachbund" without sneezing.

  jessicafischerqueen: Hi <MannBee>!

To answer your intriguing, even enigmatic, question:

Daniel very kindly reconstructed my Profile- by hand- from a GOOGLE cache which he himself located.

What a mensch, eh?

He saved me hours and hours of "manual work."

Now it won't take me long at all to prune and reformat the <> thingies since all the URLs are in plain text again.

Thanks--MONKEY RANKER

Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen: Ah yes and also- Daniel is now aware of the bug that erased my profile.

So I'm certain he's taking steps to get rid of it.

Possibly RAID or some other FDA-approved product should do the trick.

Thanks--MONKEY RANKER

At first I read that as Girlyman, something that our ex-governator said. Gotta get my eyes checked...

  WannaBe: I enjoy the fact, that for the next 7 month, I do not have to hear what Rex Ryan have to say... Nor do I have ever card what Rex Ryan have/had said.

But boy, once training/rookie camp starts, I can imagine that 500 lbs. with a mouth bigger than M. Downey will be back on the 'circus' again...

  WannaBe: A quick run down of the past Super Bowls... Just to refresh our memories.

2011 GB* (-2.5) vs. Pittsburgh ?

2010 Indy (-4) vs. NO (Final score, 17-31 favourite lost the game, and against the spread.)

2009 Pittsburgh (-7) vs. Arizona, (Final score, 27-23, thanks to a final second touch down, favourite won the game, lost against the spread.)

2008 New England (-12) vs. NY Giants, (Final score, 14-17, Lost the game, and against the spread.)

2007 Indy (-7) vs. Chicago, (Final score, 29-17, won the game, and covered the spread.)

2006 Pittsburgh* (-4) vs. Seattle, (Final score 21-10, won the game, and covered.)

2005 New England (-7) vs. Philadelphia, (Final score 24-21, won the game, did not cover the spread.)

2004 New England (-7) vs. Carolina, (Final score 32-29, won the game, did not cover the spread.)

2003 Oakland (-4) vs. Tampa Bay, (Final score 21-48, lost the game, and the spread.)

1992 Washington (-7) vs. Buffalo (Final score 37-24, won and won.)

1991 Buffalo (-7) vs. NY Giants (Final score 20-19, lost and lost)

*Pittsburgh was the 6th (lowest seed) that year, Seattle was the number 1 seed from NFC.

And this year, Green Bay is the 6th seed, and Pittsburgh is the number 2 seed from AFC, but yet, both times, the lower seeded team is favoured!!

We will cover the next 20 years tomorrow!!

Well, I can tell you this, one of the <BIGGEST> reason, why no new stadiums are being built in California, is the environmental studies...

And dealing with the bureaucracy that is California. We are a state, where the coastal metropolis cities always vote democratic, while inland cities always vote republican.

Plus the fact that NoCal and SoCal are so 'different' (I personally, have always been in favour of splitting the state in two, create a N. Cal. and a S. Cal.)

And the fact that our ex-gov'n are both idiots, Davis and A'nold! It doesn't help my cause any, because I voted for that Austrian twice, but I long for the days of Wilson and Deukmejian (Did I spell that name correctly??)

Oh, yeah, I am all over the Steelers, (+2.5) with distractions and team members 'fighting' each other, this team will struggle to stay focused.

  WannaBe: Did you know... that The Terrible Towels (as waved by many Pittsburgh fans) are made in Wisconsin?!

What is the matter with these people, can't they find a cheaper place in China, or Vietnam, or Indonesia???

  Phony Benoni: Well, maybe that's why they're so terrible. But it's logical when you think about it. The Terrible Towels are yellow. The Cheeseheads are yellow. Therefore, it is certain that I'd better quit now while I'm ahead.

[White "NN"]

[BlackElo "1394"]

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Bc4 e6 4. Bb5+ Bd7 5. Bxd7+ Qxd7 6. d4 cxd4 7. Nxd4 Nf6 8. Nc3 Be7 9. Nf3 Nc6 10. a3 O-O 11. O-O Rad8 12. b3 d5 13. exd5 exd5 14. Bb2 Rfe8 15. Re1 d4 16. Ne4 Nxe4 17.

Moving the bishop twice within the opening wasn't too good, and then 9. Nf3, I wasn't too sure what that was about.

I think 21. c4 was a bit of a mistake, thinking I was going to capture the c-pawn, but instead it allowed me to have a passed pawn.

26. Re1 was a huge blunder...

Feb-03-11  myschkin: . . .

Dear <wannabe> xin nian kuai le!

People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract. They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative and wise.
